Arthur’s university yearbook actually referred to him as “most likely to end up living in a hole in the Scottish highlands with only the chip on his shoulder for company.” — location: [84](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B002WGC8PU&location=84) ^ref-25241 --- Zaphod twanged his tendon gently. “I am Zaphod Beeblebrox, LB, and with the life I’ve had, it’s only a matter of time before I run into a humongous anticlimax. I aim to put that off as long as possible.” — location: [1936](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B002WGC8PU&location=1936) ^ref-16933 --- Mown lowered himself gently onto his cot, an act that would have surprised the hell out of his shipmates. Vogons did not generally have the wherewithal to lower themselves gently onto anything. Plonking awkwardly and collapsing ignominiously were the main options open to the Vogon race. Getting up again was even worse than sitting down. Rising from anything lower than a bar stool generally involved a bruised coccyx, a complicated system of weights and pulleys, and several pints of splutter. But Mown possessed something heretofore unheard of among the Vogon. Mown possessed a modicum of grace. — location: [2177](kindle://book?action=open&asin=B002WGC8PU&location=2177) ^ref-45098 ---
